Little Ice Cream Boy


Book Description

The street was quiet and deserted ... a few yellow leaves fluttered to the ground and a brilliant blue sky beckoned through skeletal branches. It was a perfect day for murder.

Toddler Storytimes II


Book Description

School Library Journal: With 25 theme-based chapters, this is a handy resource. Each theme includes book recommendations, often 10 or more, with a nice mixture of classic and newer titles, and a suggestion to choose two or three per session. Words and instructions for fingerplays, rhymes, and songs are provided, while a discography provides melody sources for all songs. Each theme includes a flannel-board activity, complete with reproducible patterns and brief directions on how to present the story or song on the board. Safe and simple crafts ideas are presented as optional activities. Activities are listed by type, rather than in an ordered list, so tellers can pick, choose, and order according to individual style and preference. An introduction provides tips and rationale for all of the types of activities. A couple of sentences note the potential impact on brain development and early-literacy skills, but the focus is on the activities themselves; strategies for sharing early-literacy information with parents and caregivers are not addressed. Judy Nichols's Storytimes for Two-Year-Olds (ALA, 2007) and Linda L. Ernst's Baby Rhyming Time (Neal-Schuman, 2008) provide more comprehensive looks at all aspects of storytime planning and presentation. This update of Briggs's Toddler Storytime Programs (Scarecrow, 1993) will be most useful as a resource for programming ideas and fleshing out themes.

Putting Meaning Into Your Moments


Book Description

God bless the churches that hear the truth, obey the truth, and teach the truth to others! But there are some churches that seem to be competing with the world to see who can self-destruct first! Hoff, in his book, Put Meaning Into Your Moments calls them the New Age church. He defines their errors as corruption and shows how their leaders are like King Saul, who was afraid of the people and did what they demanded. Entertainment-oriented church programs are like new movies that attract people into a theater. After they've seen it a few times, they lose interest. Kids who were initially attracted by drums and amps are now losing interest in the church. Let's just say it, "Liberal Christianity does not last. It's a fraud!" The message of the cross of Jesus Christ has the power of God in it, and the New Age church isn't preaching it! They're just making stuff up. Hoff suggests the problem is with their view of the Bible as an inaccurate narrative of creation, sin, and self. To them, Jesus is a two-thousand-year-old senior who knows nothing about cell phones, so how could He know anything about people today. It would be hard to prove this, but people who used to attend church are, no doubt, still yearning for what they didn't find when they were there. The largest church in the world would be the reassembling of these precious souls. If you can imagine yourself overcoming the frustration that is currently stifling your effect on the world around you, then Put Meaning Into Your Moments is your kind of book.

God Was Here and I Was Out to Lunch


Book Description

Explores how, due to our rigid preoccupation with our busy-ness and routines, we fail to sense or appreciate the presence of God all around us; consequently, we miss out on the chance to tap in to common sense, we miss out on the chance to love God and others, and we miss out on the chance to connect with Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. In fifteen chapters, Moore highlights hallmarks of the Christian faith that are essential and life-giving for all persons, and which can be ours if only we will learn to recognize God’s majesty when it is near and open our lives to the change God offers. 15 chapters with a study guide. Appropriate for individual or group use.
